EULES OF THE FASHION JOCKEY CLUB. 535 



Rule XXVITI. Foul Riding.— If a horse or rider shall cross, jostle 

 or strike another horse or rider, or do any thing that impedes another 

 horse, accidentally or not, it is foul riding, and the horse that impedes 

 the other shall be adjudged distanced. And if the Judges are satisfied 

 that the riding was intentionally foul, or that the rider was instructed so 

 to ride, the party or parties so offending, shall not be allowed to ride, 

 enter or attend a horse over this Course in any race under the control of 

 the Club. Although a leading horse is entitled to any part of the track, 

 if he crosses from the right to the left, or from the inner to the outer 

 side of the track, when a horse is so near him that in changing his posi- 

 tion he compels the horse behind to shorten his stride, or if he causes the 

 rider to pull him out of his stride, it is foul riding. And if, in passing a 

 leading horse, the track is taken so soon after getting the lead as to cause 

 the horse passed to shorten his stride, it is foul riding. All complaints 

 of foul riding must be made before the horses start in another heat ; 

 and if it happens in the last heat, then before the Judges leave the 

 stand. 



Rule XXIX. Collision. — No compromise or agreement between 

 two or more persons not to oppose each other, or to run jointly against 

 any other person or persons, will be permitted. Upon satisfactory proof 

 of the same being produced before the Judges, they shall declare the 

 horses of such persons distanced, and the parties so offending shall be 

 ruled off the Course. 



Rule XXX. Frauds. — Every horse started shall run a bona fide 

 race. If any fraud be discovered, and the purse, stakes or match 

 money has been paid, the same shall be restored on demand of the 

 Judges, and by them paid over to the owner of the next best horse. If 

 the money be not restored by the illegal holder, he shall be expelled 

 from the Club, and shall ever thereafter be ineligible as a member. If 

 not a member of the Club, shall be prohibited from ever running a horse 

 over the Course again. 



Rule XXXI. Forfeits. — A person owing a forfeit in any stakes or 

 match run over, or agreed to be run over any Course, shall not be allow- 

 ed to start a horse for a purse or sweepstakes, but no charge that such 

 forfeit is due shall be heard unless made before starting. No horse, 

 owned by a person prevented from starting one under the rules of the 

 Club, shall be allowed to run, though said horse be entered in another 

 name or found in another stable. Whenever the Judges are informed 

 that a person has entered, or caused a horse to be entered or named in 

 a race in violation of any rule of the Club, they shall immediately make
